1、英文演讲稿三分钟英文演讲稿三分钟英文演讲稿三分钟1 now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and im also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in field
2、s like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutio
3、ns to these problems. so now id like to share with you whats in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. heres margaret atwood, “cats eye.“ heres a novel by milan kundera. and heres “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i broug
4、ht these books with me because they were written by my grandfathers favorite authors. my grandfather was a rabbi and he was a widower who lived alone in a small apartment in brooklyn that was my favorite place in the world when i was growing up, partly because it was filled with his very gentle, ver
5、y courtly presence and partly because it was filled with books. i mean literally every table, every chair in this apartment had yielded its original function to now serve as a surface for swaying stacks of books. just like the rest of my family, my grandfathers favorite thing to do in the whole worl
6、d was to read. but he also loved his congregation, and you could feel this love in the sermons that he gave every week for the 62 years that he was a rabbi. he would takes the fruits of each weeks reading and he would weave these intricate tapestries of ancient and humanist thought. and people would
7、 come from all over to hear him speak. but heres the thing about my grandfather. underneath this ceremonial role, he was really modest and really introverted - so much so that when he delivered these sermons, he had trouble making eye contact with the very same congregation that he had been speaking
8、 to for 62 years. and even away from the podium, when you called him to say hello, he would often end the conversation prematurely for fear that he was taking up too much of your time. but when he died at the age of 94, the police had to close down the streets of his neighborhood to accommodate the
9、crowd of people who came out to mourn him. and so these days i try to learn from my grandfathers example in my own way. 英文演讲稿三分钟2 this is no surprise though if you look at the insights of contemporary psychology. it turns out that we cant even be in a group of people without instinctively mirroring,
10、 mimicking their opinions. even about seemingly personal and visceral things like who youre attracted to, you will start aping the beliefs of the people around you without even realizing that thats what youre doing. and groups famously follow the opinions of the most dominant or charismatic person i
11、n the room, even though theres zero correlation between being the best talker and having the best ideas - i mean zero. so . (laughter) you might be following the person with the best ideas, but you might not. and do you really want to leave it up to chance? much better for everybody to go off by the
12、mselves, generate their own ideas freed from the distortions of group dynamics, and then come together as a team to talk them through in a well-managed environment and take it from there. now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our
13、 workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ o
14、f contemplation. but in americas early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character,
15、the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“ 英文演讲稿三分钟3 now i think at this point its important for me to say that i actually love extrov
16、erts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that theres no such thing as a pure introv
17、ert or a pure extrovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize
18、ourselves as one type or the other. and what im saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most crea
19、tive people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them. and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically tu
20、rned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear tha
21、t they were expecting him this kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have become
22、 such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up. 英文演讲稿三分钟4 Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向 What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
23、On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead. Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life. You can try
24、 to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time. 翻译: 如果失败了你会怎么做?很多人可能会选择放弃。然而,要想成功,
25、最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。 在通往成功的路上,你必须坚持你的方向。它就像一盏灯,在黑暗中为你指路,帮助你度过难关。否则,你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。 方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标,将一事无成。 你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上,并制定实现目标的计划。这样,你就会懂得如何合理安排时间,如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念:只要你一直坚持自己的方向,你就一定可以成功。 英文演讲稿三分钟5 on my birthday two years ago, many special things happened on me. and i would remember them fore

31、ny feelings through that special day. the only rose without thorns in the world is friendship. a true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget. one friend in a lifetime is much, two are many
32、, three are hardly possible. stick to make friends, forlife without friends is like life on a desert island. to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune, to keep him is a blessing. thank you for your attention! 译文 两年前我过生日时,有很多特殊的事情发生在我身上。我会 永远记住他们。 那天早晨,我像往常一样骑着我的自行车去学校。在我去的路上 教室里,我看到了我的一些同学。但当他们看见我的时候,他们就跑了。这让我感到困惑。因为他们会跟我说,或在我面前开玩笑。但今天很奇怪。 当我走进教室的时候,我发现气氛很奇怪。 每个人都看着我,大声笑。突然他们都说了很好的顺序,“祝你生日快乐!“然后他们开始唱“你”让我生日快乐感动。我从来没有告诉过任何人关于我的生日,他们怎么知道?我相信他们一定是做了很多事情。在那一刻,我发现没有什么可以说,但感谢! 放学后,一件事情发生在我身上的一个惊喜发生在我回家的路上。当我骑着突然人群中冲出来拦住了我的自行车。我在一次重要。他们是我的高中同学。他们都抱怨我,“你为什么不
